A casino in Middlesborough. The very thought is absurd. Indeed. What's wrong with lottery scratchcards? A superbrothel was the obvious choice. Bongo Bongo does that job.

We're getting a smaller casino in Middlesbrough...there go my finances!

You can fuck off with the sympathy next time you're in hospital then.

I'd just played that song before you posted.

Ditto "Bloke Crashes Fast Car", to be honest. If he'd just crashed a Corsa into a lampost i'd call it a big fuss over nothing, but crashing a car at 300mph and going into hospital with a brain injury is pretty serious news!

Photoshopped tbh.

That was Taylor27, the great mong.

My Mum's car that I drive has one on, thats on a Corsa. Wouldn't say it looks shit at all. I got offered one for my 21st but I declined, would have rather been given the money in another form than a piece of plastic!

Walcott doesn't ever seem to know what to do once he's got the ball.

Can't see it being true, but its so NUFC its uncanny.

The Independent are obsessed with the environment like. I get the Times every now and then, get the Gazette when i'm back home. Read the rest of the news on the internet tbh.

Enough to fill a VIP holiday? Hmm perhaps not enough to justify a trip from Germany.

Theres some nice spots in Middlesbrough!

You can't really have a go at someone for using text talk in a text message ffs.

Yes, Adolf. He's just a teddy with a black face! That you stick pins in because you hate "those people" I give it cuddles because I love "those people".

I've got a gollywog. Is that racist?!

The mighty Guisborough Town were on Sky Sports News this morning! Some random little feature on Norton & Stockton Ancients having identical twins as manager and coach, and were playing Guisborough so showed the highlights. I think I saw about 2 people in the crowd.

Speaking of Lampard... That goal that Portsmouth scored yesterday, Mendes shoots and it deflects in off Kanu's shin. John Motson, self appointed member of the Dubious Goals Committee, pops up with "I'm giving that to Kanu!". If that was Lampard who had the shot instead of Mendes, I absolutely guarantee it would have been credited as his goal. He's a jammy little bastard.

Why don't you get a fucking nazi's hat to go with it? Conflicting ideologies tbh.

Oooh I bet Jose was bricking it when Roeder said that to him.

Happy birthday short arse, you off t'pub?

Was LITERALLY about to post exactly the same. Came in the post this morning, its absolutely class. Went to see them in HMV in Sheffield the other day where they did an acoustic set. Was really good. I'm off to see them in Manchester next month, 24th I think, for the 4th time! Been moved to Academy 2 as well because of ticket demand... I remember watching them in Preston a couple of years ago with about 100 people there! Nice one, yeh i'm going to see them too at the Plug in Sheffield. Its good to see them selling out across the country though, they're bound to do well here because of friend/family connections. Was standing next to Jon's mum and little brother the other day, Jon was absolutely wrecked at about 5.30 she was so embarrased. Great hidden track at the end of the album aswell btw, wouldn't have been happy if that song wasn't there!

This club will never spend £50m in a season again. It's going to take a hell of a long time before we can spend anything up to £15m tbh Agree. I predict a lower half of the table finish, and another drop in season ticket sales. Expect some crowds as low as 40,000 next season. Not sure how the increased Sky money will impact on us, but as all the premiership clubs are benefitting in relative terms it will not help us. The club is slowly dying under the stewardship of Shepherd. Come on man, what about when Robson was first appointed? We were a shit mid-table team who were so skint we could only sign Kevin Gallacher! Didn't see crowds plummet then, or in the dire days of Souness. Too much negativity going on round here, we might not sign anyone but when we've got a full team out its a decent side. The reasons the crowds didn't plummet then was precisely because we had Robson as manager, who virtually everyone had faith in. Plus it had only been three years since we were a top 2 side, the memory was still fresh. Plus in those days the top clubs weren't as far apart from the pack as they are now. Now we have Roeder, and absolutely no hope of getting in the top 4 let alone win the league.Season tickets have already plumetted and will continue to do so - I know several people who aren't renewing next year and, unlike previous seasons, this time they really are not crying wolf. Look at the away matches - it used to be nigh on impossible to get tickets for them, now, with a very few exceptions, they are all on general sale. The club is bankrupt and in a downward spiral - that much would be obvious if you had read the accounts and is the reason for us not buying anyone. You reckon we have a decent side? Well fine, that's your opinion, but I think it's the worst we've had for 15 years. I agree with the Robson/Roeder thing, perhaps I was being a bit simplistic with that example. Still think theres too much negativity though. The side isn't particularly good, thats why I said decent. Worst in 15 years? These last few weeks, yes i'd probably agree. But with Duff, Owen, N'Zogbia and Emre (to name just 4) still out its to be expected, with our full team out its a pretty decent XI imo. I've read the accounts, and aye its not pretty reading. I don't particuarly trust Shepherd to drag us out of it either but there are plenty of teams out there without much money who can do well. Look at Bolton - with some good management a team with no resources can be successful. Granted, we don't have this good management from top to bottom, but the financial situation shouldn't mean the football team is fucked.
